True wealth is having control of your time, but you can’t achieve true wealth when your finances are a mess
In 2016, I was a wife, new mom, and junior Biglaw associate with over $670,000 of debt and a negative $342,000 net worth.
By the end of 2021, my husband and I had paid off almost $500,000 of that debt (the total of our student loans) and now only have our mortgage remaining.
I’ve since left the law to focus on helping lawyers master their mindset and their personal finances and unlock the power that comes with having complete control of their money.
In this podcast, I’m giving you the knowledge you need to create more freedom in your life by improving your mindset and managing your money better.

150 | Passive and Productive Action
There are three stages of action: no action, passive action, and productive action. Many lawyers get stuck in the passive action stage, and it's a dangerous place to be. If you actually want to improve your finances, you need to get to the productive action stage and...
149 | Net Worth vs. Self-Worth
Many lawyers allow their financial situation to dictate how they see themselves. But this is a mistake. Although your self-worth can impact your net worth, your net worth does not determine anything about your self-worth. When you can learn to separate the two, you'll...
What people are saying
Outstanding perspective
Rho has rare gifts of honesty and perspective. Anyone with a job that places significant demands on time and availability would benefit immensely from listening. Rho gets that the need to make money is real, is abiding, and is important. Her advice and content on prizing time while not abandoning that need is so necessary and useful.

Life-changing—Generational wealth, here we come!
What a relief to learn that lawyers (and others of us in high-paying occupations) don’t have to live on ramen noodles in order to pursue financial independence.
Rho gives such meaningful advice on mindset AND financial independence. Plus she’s open about her story and her family’s journey so that we can be encouraged in our own journey to financial independence, wealth-building etc.
Trust me, you wanna subscribe to this one!!

Rho is spot-on
Rho’s podcast is an amazing resource for learning how to gain financial independence and lifestyle freedom. The best part about Rho is that she doesn’t only talk money; she addresses all the ways we are intertwined with money and how to have a holistic, healthy relationship with money so you can truly achieve your goals. She’s also super down to earth and relatable, which makes her tips and podcast highly useful and engaging. I look forward to all her episodes!

Financial Freedom is the Key to Life!
This is a podcast seriously needed for millennials. Being married millennials with well-paying jobs, it’s still sometimes hard keep a positive mindset where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel – especially when you feel like you’re drowning in student debt. I love how open and honest Rho was with her journey to paying off such a significant amount of debt and will definitely be able to apply some of the steps she took on my personal journey to financial freedom!

To FREEDOM!
Such a refreshing take on how to achieve financial freedom from someone who is on the journey…not coming back and lecturing AFTER she made it! The openness and transparency of Rho’s journey is what makes the goal of financial freedom seem more attainable. Excited for more!

Really Hits Home
As a young attorney, this podcast hit on so many topics that have been on my mind in twenty short minutes. Rho addresses debt with candor, which so many are reluctant to do. And perhaps more importantly, she recognizes that well-being is more than just financial. I look forward to tuning in weekly to learn how I can reduce by debt, embrace all-around well-being, and become “Wealthyesque.” Thank you, Rho!
